Amazing to see Judy Dyble looking almost intimidatingly cool here. I met her in recent years and she was absolutely the warmest and kindest person you could ever hope to meet. RIP x
It's astonishing that even way back then, Richard Thompson's (very!) extended instrumental was completely different from what any other guitarist was playing -- amazing!
Richard is a good guitarist, without question. But given the tempo of this song, such a long solo doesn't seem appropriate. I mean, were not talking "Green Grass and High Tides" here.
Incredible fabulous amazing total wow groovy cool performance from early Fairport Convention. Richard, Ian, Judy, Ashley, Simon, and Martin are on fire here. They were such a talented band. The album and the few other recordings made by this line up are awesome. I am glad this performance was preserved. This band and their music is the real deal.
Imho, the band under-utilised Judy. It must have been difficult for her being given such a snippet to sing and then retreating to the back of the stage while the male performers dominated the set. She must have been very tolerant. More sexist times then. The promising start to this song became a virtuoso slot for Thompson with a short reprise of the vocal at the end.

@@Kate1Chopin Judy is featured heavily on most songs from their first album. And in my opinion it was their very best album.
Only recently discovered JA with Signe and this sounded a lot like them .Two brilliant bands in the line ups before their most celebrated ones but maybe actually their best ones.
Cool! I never heard of them before. Apparently Spencer Dryden played with them for a bit. They definitely have that San Fransisco sound even though they are from LA.
Watching again for the first time in a few years, and this time my eyes and ears were drawn to Martin's drumming. As Ashley said in his commentary on the 30th ("The Cropredy Box"), we were truly robbed from experiencing more of his talents.
I have seen this many times and still find it amazing. I once saw an interview with Joe Boyd, FPC's producer, according to him THAT solo is what got Fairport their 1st contract, he had to get RT under contract. Richard is slightly younger than myself, he was borrowing rifts from Django Reinhardt and Charlie Christian at a time when most of us that age had no idea who those guys were, and he has only gotten better with the years.
Richard is eight days older than me, I missed the slot but loved the music from first hearing on Top Gear while at University and seeing Fairport Live in Hull in 1968. Richard's solo on Jack Of Diamonds was superb. Only got better over the years but he is still eight days older.
Damn, that is a good looking band, and they sound just fantastic. Didn't know this was a live recording, nor that this was before Sandy, but Judy was an amazing singer, it's like the perfect mix of The Doors, Velvet Underground and Jefferson Airplane. I was also really surprised to see this song at all on UA-cam, and in such good quality, definitely in my top 5 of FC.
I saw the band two or three times in this incarnation, before they got into English traditional folk, at the Town and Country Club in Belsize Park. Used to love them.
I still think that their first album with Judy was one of the best they ever did. And yes, I did see them perform with Judy at Aber Coll early 1968 They were wonderful.

Undoubtedly! Some lovely songs on that album. Many featuring the fabulous Judy.
ian and judy sound incredible.. would be curious to hear what would have happened had they stayed in the group. this iteration of FC deserves a bit more credit,..though the sandy denny years were certainly their best.
This haas to be the weirdest camerawork I've ever seen, but at least i can say I know how Richard does the fingering on his solo. It is all close-ups , but you never see any of the groups in their entirety. The strangest of all, must be filmingMartin (out of focus) over Simon's left shoulder. Still this a a great group in their early days and a fine performance.
Definitely a late 60s cinematography thing! Check out the London '66-67 interstellar overdrive by Pink floyd and you'll see you can never truly see what's going on
My hometown! I live just outside of Reno now and it's one of the greatest places to live, Most people come to visit and wind up staying! Love Fairpoint and miss Sandy Denny! RIP
Judy looks so lovely. Like. an English version of Nico. The band all look so serious. Heavily influenced by the West Coast bands like the Airplane, but also Dylan. Great stuff.
interesting that of all the Richard and Mimi Farina materials available to perform, Ian Mathews picked Reno Nevada... I don't remember the video being so clear and this is a rare chance to see poor Martin Lamble and great Judy Dyble perform... Judy Dyble did attend some of the Croperty festival events down through the years.. and did Ashley Hutchings and Ian Mathews on a much more frequent basis.. and the songs of Richard and Mimi Farina almost rival Leonard Cohen's songs .. we lost Farina in 1966 and Mimi in 2001. . Fairport with Sandy also performed Farina's Quiet Joys of Brotherhood which I saw them perform live in 1974 in front of Mimi Farina who was in attendance at the festival.
Man, just happened upon this after being a hardcore FC fan for >45 years. I have this song on vinyl as a demo version that producer Joe Boyd felt was too weak to release. Yet this live version is astonishingly good in every way. I believe that like their American peers during this era, e.g. Jefferson Airplane and the Grateful Dead, they were better live than what they recorded in the studio.They should figure much higher on the radar of fans of this era than they do. They were all just amazing musicians, bringing to the table a form of "folk-rock" that either equalled or went way beyond what the Americans were doing at the time. And I would rank Richard Thompson alongside my fave virtuoso guitarists, e.g. Hendrix, Johnny Winter and Duane Allman.
Yeah, a live band indeed - sooo sturdy musicians all of them - one of the very best then. Jethro T was mention in the same manner. Both with solid Island background - Chris Blackwell was awarded the Polar Prize the other year.

I can verify that they were fantastic live. Saw them a few times at small clubs and they were sensational.
That is nice to hear. Sadly, I did not get to see them live until ca. 1983 playing an old hotel ballroom in Montpelier, Vermont. Still, even then, they were phenomenal. The lineup included Richard Thompson and Simon Nicol (guitars), John Kirkpatrick (accordion), Dave Pegg (bass), and I can no longer recall who was on drums. I was a student at the university up in Burlington and had already begun my lifelong habit of taking LPs with me to get the band to sign. I was waiting when they entered the hotel lobby on their way to begin the show and asked if they could please sign my battered copy of Richard Thompson's double compilation (guitar, vocal). They were all such gentlemen. They replied "not now" as they are focused in starting the gig, but welcome to join them upstairs in their suite for a few pints after the show. I did, and we had a nice long discussion. And, yes, they signed my record! Since then I've seen Richard Thompson solo and with various lineups probably a dozen times in small venues. He really is a humble and lovely person and, as mentioned in my original post, a consummate guitar genius and virtuoso.
@@tundratunes Yeah, he is, RT, and desite all the doom & gloom in the tomb he also has a fantastic humour. Here in Stockholm quite a while back in the day he sang 'Sam Jones' in a way that none of us really got depressed 😁
Somebody said in another post that the girl was Sandy Denny. They stand corrected. I like how during the guitar solo she just goes over and sits on the step and waits... lol Great song.
@@gillesserrigny6324 only comparing the size of his hands and how he can put his thumb right over top of the fretboard like Hendrix.. Not necessarily comparing the way they play guitar. Both are very good in their own right but different of course
Jeannie Franklyn was known as Genie the Tailor and had a shop on Santa Monica Blvd in La opened in April 1968 providing clothing to many of the rock stars at the time including the Monkies, Cass Elliott and Cream. I note that an official U.S. government document reporting on her death overseas referred to her as Genie Franklin and her parents were Samuel Ochs and Helen Franklin and she was born in NYC in 1942. She was a cousin of Phil Ochs.
For all those who like this song, listen to the original version sung by Richard and Mimi Farina. Mimi was Joan Baez sister. Richard died in a motorcycle accident. Check out their output.
Thank you kindly mate! Joan's sister and he, Richard, dead with his mc, you say...!!! I've thought about the background to RN. I've checked up on the Net on Mimi now - how little one knows, until a friend tells you... Thank you once again! /Hakan
Side note Thompson is a monster soloing on the electric on here. Is it wrong that I kind of wish this lineup made one more record in this kind of psych rock vein? I love unhalfbricking and liege and life too.
@@billsims1033 Agreed. Fairport's jamming style is a little more focused, less psychedelic, and perhaps more powerful for it. Just depends on the mood I'm in.
Great song. I remember them performing this live at the Mothers Club in Erdington, Birmingham back in the 60s. They were never much like Jefferson Airplane (other than having a female vocalist). Their sound was much more like The Peanut Butter Conspiracy.
I hear the relationship to the Airplane regardless of each group having a female vocalist. Richard playing a Jorma-esque lead guitar in the jam for instance. I doubt FC were lifting from the Peanut Butter Conspiracy.
Surprising version from Fairport Convention, unknown to me, still with Judy Dible and Ian Matthews, of this Farina's epic. I still prefer, though, the version from Ian Matthews' first solo album ( which I remember was called something like ).
THIS sounds a little like Jeff Airpl or the Dead in R.T.'s soloing for a short time around 3:00. Shows his remarkable ability, speed, crispness,and adventurousness. And live!
Wow, this is great. So young and so talented--and so sad that one of them would be desrined to pass so young. Just out of interest what is the brand of that Les Paul, I don't recognise the headstock logo?
"What's that you say? Four & a half minute guitar solo? Righty Ho, I'll just go and have a bit of a sit down. And then utterly steal the clip by getting back up with unassailably nonchalant cool when you've finished showing off..."
MrTurner - well put - apparently she used to sit and knit whilst Floyd played at the UFO (could've been a club before this) club - lol!! however, Mister Thompson does not show off - I don't believe in any gods - but if I did - well - he might qualify!"!
True that, honeychurchgipsy6! Similarly, Grace Slick would often take a seat or stand nearby to watch Jorma and Jack tear it up during breaks in her songs with Jefferson Airplane, visibly impressed by their expertise and giving her nod of approval as she stepped forward to pick up the mic again.
What is the guitar Richard is playing? I knew he played a Gibson Les Paul with P90s early on but this is an imitation Les Paul with humbuckers. (Didn't know there were imitation Les Pauls in 1968; thought they were a 70s thing.)
OK you guitar nerds out there...What brand is that Les Paul look-a-like Richard Thompson is playing? My guess is DeArmond...No poker chip at P.U. switch, flat, slightly curved tail piece, strange looking fret markers. I couldn't get a look at the headstock...
It’s apparently a Grimshaw GS-30. A licensed copy of a Gibson, apparently. Seems from the date of the clip that it predated the Gibson ES175 he played on the first album and the Les PaulGoldtop he had by the end of 68. It’s not mentioned in his Beeswing autobiography, but checking out pictures of the model it seems a match.
According to the Sandy Denny biography 'I've Always Kept A Unicorn' a few days after this appearance on the Baton Rouge tv show Judy was fired from the band. Ashley Hutchins was the one to give her the bad news.
@@vibesinthesky well his playing has a lot to be desired. Do you think 40 years later his skill level is the same?? Any player looking at and listening to himself decades later will be critical - and really his playing there was not exactly top notch!
@@vibesinthesky no, he won't. He will be deeply ashamed, and he'll cover his head in rough sacking and dirt from the ground, wailing and weeping "oh why is it on film, and I was so awful". Trust me.
Judy's slow walk back to the mic is absolutely iconic.
I cannot fucking believe just how advanced, mature and adventurous Richard's soloing already was at the age of 19!
And he hasn't even started using his pinky!
Couldn't agree more!
I can't believe they chucked out Judy and brought in Sandy. Sandy was great but Judy was better.
@@joeking5310That's a matter of taste.
How lovely to see poor Martin , a gifted young musician facing a brutally tragic end, he always maintained the freshness of his teenage years.
Rest in peace, Judy, we'll miss you hugely.
It's always so cool how Judy saunters back over to the mic after the jam.
She looks utterly bored during the instrumental section!
@@lemming9984 could be her depressed demeanour was cos she already knew she was outta the band tho !
Amazing to see Judy Dyble looking almost intimidatingly cool here. I met her in recent years and she was absolutely the warmest and kindest person you could ever hope to meet. RIP x
Loved her even though I was just a Facebook friend.
@@harvey1954 same. Lovely woman.
I never met her, but we were facebook friends and talked quite a bit, mostly about her dog and her weird recipes. Truly one of a kind.
She looks terrified to me - giving nothing in her eyes, all inward. As protection?
Tyger and the late Martin Lamble made quite the rhythm section... and Richard Thompson...DAMN!!!
It's astonishing that even way back then, Richard Thompson's (very!) extended instrumental was completely different from what any other guitarist was playing -- amazing!
such a great solo by Richard Thompson, and the whole band is cookin too. also that accent when they sing Nevada lol. "Nevadar"
You must be a yank then.

Definitely. Pity…
Much more similar to The Peanut Butter Conspiracy. Take a listen.

Perfect mix of Doors, VU and Airplane. Don't forget about the Byrds!

Lucky you. I saw them at Sussex University in October 67.
The guitar solo is perfect!
R.I.P. JUDY
Merci à tout jamais pour ce grand moment de grâce.
😔❤️🎶
Judy Dyble really hit her stride singing about going to Reno, Nevada. She owned this song! 👍🏿👍🏿💥💥💥💥
Judy was a beautiful woman. She rocked that "Katherine Ross affect" real hard.
Command performance. The pronouncing of Nevada as Nevader cracks me up every time
I live in Arizona (a bordering state) and I pronounce it like that. Anyone in the UK know how you pronounce Wichita?

Plucked from the ether
Weed maybe.
I just love Fairport so much. Absolutely my favorite band.
From the French television programme, Bouton Rouge, I believe 1968.
I saw Ian touring a whole show of Richard Farina material a few years ago as Plainsong.
Saw that show in Cambridge, MA & got to meet Iain as well as Andy Roberts.

With a hiatus of about 1972-76 in Albion Band, etc.

RIP Judy
4:28 Looks Like Iain is kn a naughty step
This reminds me of prog rock the solo in a good way
Can this band do no wrong?
Hard to think of Fairport as a bunch of Bay area Dead Heads!
Often the Airplane they were compared to had Signe A., not Grace Slick.
The beginning of the solo does sound like one of the solos on the studio version of Caution by the Dead
5:52 *Walks back to the mic*
Yep. This.
They were so young. Dyble was 17 or 18 at the time.
They say that Judy has just passed away

watching these 60s and 70s artists makes me realize how horrible, formulaic, uninventive, repetitive and revoltingly boring 99% of todays music is
I am so glad that Fairport stopped doing this kind of stuff and moved on to better things.
This is not Folk music by any stretch, if anything it's Psychedelic put it in the dumpster!
